In "Terminator Genisys," which is the fifth installment in the "Terminator" movie series, Byung Hun plays the role of T-1000 cyborg, and Arnold Schwarzenegger is returning to reprise his role as the Terminator. The movie is scheduled to be released in the U.S. on July 1 and is set to hit the screens in Japan on July 11.

Korea Boo posted some of the netizens' reaction after news surfaced that the Japanese promotional posters do not feature Byung Hun's character T-1000 cyborg. One post called him a "pervert," while another called him a "disease." There was also a post that asked for his removal in Korean posters as well, calling the actor "embarrassing." Korea Boo quoted one of the posters as saying, "If even the horny Japanese think Lee Byung Hun is too much..."

This reaction probably stems from the blackmail scandal that took place last year. According to reports, Byung Hun accused model Lee Ji-yeon and pop idol Da-hee of blackmailing him. The two had claimed that they had proof that the actor made suggestive, sexual jokes during their conversation.

Meanwhile, earlier this month, it was reported that Byung Hun has signed on to star in the remake of "The Magnificent Seven." The actor has been roped in to play the role of Billy Rocks. He is joining a stellar, ensemble cast that includes Hollywood's big names, including Denzel Washington, Chris Pratt, Ethan Hawke and Vincent D'Onofrio. Antoine Fuqua is donning the director's hat.

Byung Hun, 44, first gained international recognition when he starred in "G.I. Joe" where he played the role of Storm Shadow. Byung Hun returned to reprise his role in the second installment of "G.I. Joe" as well.
